Where Yukon sits in the OKC metro
Yukon sits along Route 66 in Canadian County, roughly 15 miles west of downtown Oklahoma City. I-40 runs along the south edge of town, so most residents can reach the Will Rogers World Airport, Bricktown, or Tinker AFB in 25–35 minutes. Charlemagne Apartments at 100 N Kimbell Rd is just minutes from the Garth Brooks Blvd / NW 10th interchange — one of the fastest on/off ramps in town.
Cost of living and rent
Yukon is one of the more affordable suburbs in the metro. Apartment rent generally runs well below the OKC average, with 1-bedroom units starting in the mid-$700s and 3-bedroom homes available under $1,100. At Charlemagne, our floor plans start at $750/month for a 1-bedroom and top out at $1,150/month for a 4-bedroom — all with central heat and air, on-site management, and quick approval.
Schools
Yukon Public Schools is the largest district in town and serves most of the apartments along Kimbell, Garth Brooks Blvd, and Cornwell. Mustang Public Schools serves the south side. Both districts are highly rated by local families, with strong athletics, band, and CareerTech programs. Redlands Community College in nearby El Reno and the University of Central Oklahoma in Edmond are both an easy drive for adult learners.
Groceries, shopping & errands
You'll find Walmart Supercenter, Crest Foods, Homeland, Aldi, and Sam's Club all within a 5-minute drive of Charlemagne. Garth Brooks Boulevard is the town's main retail corridor, with restaurants, banks, urgent care, pharmacies, and the Yukon Public Library all bunched together for quick errands after work.
